Hello future health professionals! 

We’re very fortunate in our office to work with such awesome pre-health students. You all consistently impress us with your dedication to service, empathy, and compassion. At the same time, we recognize that many of you are navigating real challenges in the current landscape, including uncertainty about the future and competing demands and pressures.

In difficult moments, connecting with like-minded people through service can be grounding and empowering. Community engagement not only aligns with the values of the health professions (and is viewed favorably in admissions), but it can also help you find purpose and belonging. Resources like the GW Honey Nashman Center and its GivePulse platform can help you identify local opportunities, while Idealist.org offers national and advocacy-focused options.

Remember that caring for yourself is not separate from caring for others. Sustaining your own well-being ultimately makes you more effective in service and in your future profession. GW offers a wide range of resources to support mental health, academic success, and more. We encourage you to explore wellbeing resources. 

Stay warm out there!
